Hi guys,
I first got diagnosed as Type 1 in October 2014. I joined the forum around then and the tips and hints were grateful. Through my own idiotic moves, I started to lose the will to take my insulin with my meals and even stopped all together for around 8 months.
I am not sure if it is me being forgetful that has led to this or whether perhaps I am a little embarrassed of being diabetic. I was 23 when I was diagnosed and, as expected, it shook my world right up. It has made simple things a much harder task. Going camping, I forgot to take any insulin the whole time I was there and only realised when I got home. Perhaps you guys have a few hints and tips?
Finally, I wondered how you properly came to terms with when you were diagnosed (Regardless of how long ago this was)? Sometimes I think 'Maybe if I just pretend that I'm not diabetic, it will just go away?'.
Sorry for the ramble. Just feeling it at the moment.
